A traditional golf course in the land of faux waterfalls, shooting fountains and mountains, Las Vegas National Golf Club is actually part site of Tiger Woods' first win on the PGA Tour.

Las Vegas National was part of the rotation of the Las Vegas Invitational when Woods broke onto the Tour in 1996. Tiger actually won the Las Vegas Invitational (then a 90-hole, multi-course event) with a final round 64 on the private TPC at Summerlin track, erasing David Love III's four-stroke lead.

Average hackers will find a course with plenty of trees in the desert and five inventive par 3s that give National much of its character. This isn't desert golf. It's old school golf with palm trees and sand.

It is also very close to the Strip, just a few turns and about a 10-minute drive away. The area's built up around it with fast-food shops, but the Rat Pack era style remains alive within Las Vegas National's grounds.

"As you pull into the lot at Las Vegas National, the sense of the sixties is evident in the rectangular pastel colored stucco clubhouse that might have seemed modernistic back then, but now is a charming reminder of an architecturally dated style," TravelGolf.com writer Doug Saunders said.

Classic style course.

Staff was very friendly. Cart guys made sure I had towels, ice and a couple bottles of water. Practice range was pretty chewed up and finding a level spot with turf was difficult. The course was an old-school design that was probably pristine in it's earlier days. The fairways are ok, but a fair amount of weeds present. Greens rolled ok, but were firm and hard to hold even with short irons. Same weed infestation present on greens. Got a good deal on GolfNow, so was not disappointed with value. Had I payed the going $110, I would have been extremely disappointed. Not worth more than 50-55 bucks. Average public course.

Nice and close to the strip

The staff at this track was very friendly, including the gals in the 19th hole. The course is challenging and it was cool to know that so many celebrities have played and partied there. The $ 120 green fee is worth it considering the proximatey to the strip & you don't have your own wheels. It was sad to see though so many delapitated houses around the course and we were told that it is in a rough area of town. All in all, I thought the course was very well maintained compared to some of the reviews I had read about prior to playing there and would definitely play it again.

An old course with history worth playing....

With lots of history from old movie stars to PGA tour stop and also part of the Casino movie, a tight tree lined golf course with small elevated greens is worth playing. Requires working the ball both ways to get the proper angle to the green.

They were just "punching" the fairways when I played the course on 4/24/13, I would have given it a 31/2 stars. Cost $79 for 7am tee time.

Downside, mat driving range..

Nostalgic Course !

The National gave us a wonderful day of golf. From the art gallery of famous golfers, to friendly staff, the beautiful and traditional style landscape, our day was great ! The design layout of the course is wonderful. It's like going back in time to traditional golf of old. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the greens could use some work. The greens conditions are the only thing that keep it from being awesome. This course would be packed solid with golfers every day, with better greens. But we did have an excellent day!

Over-valued...compared to others in area & depending on rate paid.

A nice, old-style course with a decent, practice area. I went early hoping to practice some and warm up. Staff insisted on putting me out earlier than my scheduled time. Otherwise, the course was a 3/5 for maintenance and difficulty, but the value received would depend upon rate paid. I had a good rate that was a lot lower than they try to charge as their "regular rate"...which is too high, especially compared to comparable courses in the area.

Great course near the strip.

FIrst course I've played in Las Vegas, I thought it was a good course. I played with a vacationer that has played a dozen or so course and he liked the course as well.
Some of the par 3s were a little tough but good course.

The course eas in great shape. A bit over priced.

In comparison to other courses in the vacinity the course is well equipped. The driving range and practice putting areas are good. I do feel that the price is not matched to the course. I think that the course is a tad over priced.

Adequate course close to the strip

Good value, especially later in the day if you need to get in a links fix. Condition was not pristine, but functional. Location, twilight pricing and staff friendliness were ideal.

Reiterating Other Reviews

I also want to comment on the trash in the stream that runs through the course. I attempted to look for a ball near the stream and due to the amount of trash and the smell, I decided the golf gods could have it!

I understand there is a dispute on who needs to clean up this mess, but if I were in charge I would hire some teenagers on spring break to go in there and clean out the stream. Shut the course down for a few days and get that stuff out of there.

Your staff was very friendly and attentive, but I cannot recommend this course in it's current shape.

Great course close to the strip!

Loved the course, it was in good condition. The fairways were good and the greens maintained nicely. Everything was great; however, I was a little disappointed with the amount of trash that was in the rivers/creek beds. Kind of an eye-sore. Loved the course though.

Classy old course

Neighborhood not necessarily the best, but the course is in nice condition. For out-of-towners, this seemed like a much better value than several other courses in the general area.

The course was in terrible condition

The fairways and greens were in terrible condition. We played 2 other golf courses during our trip to Vegas. The other courses were in great shape and almost 1/2 the $$$ we paid for this course.
